Parter with Acre

High-quality sustainability and ESG reporting has become the cornerstone of responsible business. With growing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and customers, organisations must provide transparent, credible, and data-driven disclosures that reflect both impact and intent.

Acre partners with global companies, financial institutions, and advisory firms to recruit the sustainability reporting and ESG disclosure professionals driving this change. Through our specialist executive search and professional recruitment services, we help organisations build teams capable of translating complex sustainability data into meaningful insights and compliant reporting.

Get in touch today to discuss how Acre can help you recruit the leaders defining the future of sustainability and ESG reporting.

Why Sustainability and ESG Reporting Recruitment Matters Now

The pace of regulatory change has transformed sustainability reporting from a communications function into a strategic necessity. Frameworks such as TCFD, ISSB, CSRD, and GRI, along with investor-driven standards like SASB and CDP, require businesses to collect, validate, and disclose data at a level of rigour comparable to financial reporting.

This evolution has created a surge in demand for professionals who combine technical knowledge of sustainability metrics with expertise in data management, risk analysis, and corporate governance. The challenge for organisations is not just compliance but clarity, turning information into insight that shapes business performance and stakeholder trust.
